Excerpt from With Gauge Swallow, Attorneys

The romance which the practice of his profession reveals to the lawyer is of the most intense and fascinating character. The law-office is, in fact, the battle-field of civilization, and the lawyer the one man to whom the secrets of all hearts are laid bare. He knows better than any one else the good and ill of humanity, and in what proportion joy and sorrow are mingled in every rank of life. He trains the strong for conflict and arms the weak for defence. At one time he holds the shield of the law over the head of conscious innocence, and again hides with it the crouching figure of guilt. Yet he rarely knows, or cares to know, the whole history of any life. He sees specific episodes and catches fleeting glimpses of many as their orbits intersect the plane of his duty. Thus the battle of life becomes to him an endless series of independent conflicts. Individual qualities, personal characteristics, striking incidents, make up his view of human existence.

To him the days of romance are by no means a thing of the past. The daily facts of his life are more wonderful than the legends of King Arthur's time. He cares little for "surface indications," because he holds in his hand the magic keys which unlock the inmost recesses of every heart - hope and fear. Love tells him what is never whispered in the loved one's ear; Greed unfolds to him its schemes of aggrandizement and asks him to show how near the quagmire of crime he may safely go; Remorse seeks his aid to show the path of reparation; and Shame begs him to draw the curtain of oblivion over evil deeds. He believes in miracles because they are daily wrought within his knowledge. He hesitates about believing anything to be impossible, because what cannot be done he has so often seen achieved.
